Greetings, Oh Faithful Readers!

Lance Armstrong says that “reality is uncomfortable for many.” Especially the many who realize the reality is that he became rich and famous by being a cheater.

Robert Griffin III tweeted that doctors have cleared him for practice. Out of habit, Yankee General Manager Brian Cashman told him to shut the &#!@ up!”

OK, back to watching cats playing the piano and hamsters eating crackers on Youtube. And of course reading the jokes here. And don’t forget, now that you have some spare time off the Royal Baby watch, you can always take a few minutes to send the love!
